linux-next: kgdb tree fetch failure

Hi Jason,

Today's linux-next fetch of the kgdb tree failed like this:

kgdb: git
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/kgdb-next
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

So I will use the kgdb tree from yesterday (which actually dates from
May).

In the several years I have been using git, I have never seen it get
corrupted until today.

My local git repository completely bailed, so I am going to reconstruct
the kgdb branches from a new clone.  There was no obvious way to recover
my archive. 

Here is what it said:

% git push --force
ssh://master.kernel.org/staging/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git kgdb-next
fatal: bad object 4be3bd7849165e7efa6b0b35a23d6a3598d97465
error: pack-objects died with strange error
error: failed to push some refs to
'ssh://master.kernel.org/staging/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git'

I'll leave the archive around for a while, as it is nothing more than a
science project as a curiosity of how you recover from such a state.

Jason.

Ouch!

OK, thanks.

As luck would have it, the pull of 2.6.31-rc4 magically fixed the local
archive, so kgdb-next branch is back in sync and updated.

Thanks,
Jason.
